Bill O'Reilly here. You are listening to the O'Reilly update. Coming up next, the news with Mike Slater. Thank you, Bill. It is Wednesday, April 30th, 2025. Here's this happening today in America. Trump's 100 days interview, Lawfare 2.0, Amazon backpedals, and legalizing perjury. It's all coming up. Then Bill's going to be here with your message of the day. But first, Donald Trump spoke yesterday at a Michigan Air National Guard base. also did a 90-minute rally in Michigan and also did an interview with ABC News in the Oval Office. The most notable exchange between Trump and Terry Moran was the ABC News anchor contesting the truth of Kilmar Obrico Garcia's tattoos on his knuckles, saying that it was a photoshopped picture. And Trump couldn't believe what he was saying and wouldn't let him move on.

And the exchange ended with Trump saying, such a disservice, why don't you just say, yes, he does? Hey, they gave you the break of a lifetime. I picked you. Frankly, I've never heard of you, but I picked you. He had MS-13 Tazzoos on his knuckles. Do you want me to show you the picture? ABC News also celebrating the flood of lawsuits against everything Trump has done in his first 100 days. They said the breakneck pace of the president's policies has been matched to nearly equal force by a flood of litigation, at least 220 lawsuits in courts across the country, challenging more than two dozen executive orders, the firing of 20 high-ranking government officials, and dozens. of other executive actions.

If only a few of these cases are agreed by a district judge that it's a major victory for the left just to bog down Trump's actions. New York Times wrote back in November 14th, the story about a group called Democracy Ford, where they hired at the time 800 lawyers from 260 organizations ready with plaintiffs and lawsuits, all ready to go as soon as Trump ever makes any move. There was a brief report yesterday that Amazon might include the price of tariffs on some of their items, if the items are coming from China, the White House hit back hard, and then Amazon came back and said, oh, we were only maybe considering that for one part of the website,

quote, that was never a consideration for the main Amazon site, and nothing has been implemented on any Amazon properties. And finally, a California Democrat, of course, state senator, has introduced a bill that would decriminalize welfare fraud if the fraud is under $25,000. It would also prohibit prosecutions for attempted welfare fraud and would prohibit anyone from being charged with perjury if they're subject to prosecution for welfare fraud. So we're legalizing the fraud and legalizing perjury, legalizing lying under oath.

What a wonderful representation of the California Democratic Party right now. I'm Mike Slater. I have a podcast called Politics, Bioder, faith. Great Bill O'Reilly has your message of the day. Next. Hey, it's Sean Spicer from the Sean Spicer Show podcast, reminding you to turn into my show every day to get your daily dose inside the world of politics. President Trump and his team are shaking up Washington like never before, and we're here to cover it from all sides, especially on the topics the mainstream media won't. So if you're a political junkie

on a late lunch or getting ready for the drive home, new episodes of the Sean Spicer show podcast drop at 2 p.m. East Coast every day. Make sure you tune in. You can find us at Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcast. Time now for the O'Reilly Update, message of the day. On this Wednesday, our guest commentator today is Prescott Clueless, who has been reporting the news on television for years, but isn't really an original thinker. Therefore, he's just what the corporate media wants and needs. Prescott will analyze President Trump's soft poll numbers. Well, thanks, Bill.

It's an honor to address your audience. You know, at the end of the day, it's not about kicking the can down the road. The president has started a trade war because he believes that will help the economy. It is what it is, and we'll have to wait and see. In the meantime, let's take a deep dive into some of these numbers. By the way, they are not good. In fact, they are bad. But the goalposts are moving so anything could happen.

If that does happen, the day's end might be a happy one or maybe not. We'll see. What we've already seen is the polls, which show that Americans are concerned about the economy, which, by the way, is being affected by tariffs, although I'm not sure how and why. Again, it is what it is because if it were not, then it wouldn't be happening. Perhaps things will get better. We'll have to wait and see. Well, I am glad I could introduce Prescott Clueless to all of my listeners. He is what he is. I'm Bill O'Reilly. I approve the message by writing it, you can reach me.

Bill O'Reilly.com, name in town, if you wish to opine. Let's go to the mail. We got George on a message void. I'm glad Donald Trump is making bold moves, but he needs to be a better strategist. Use a little more ready aim fire and less ready fire aim. That's pretty good, George. I like that. I think a little more deliberation, a little more explanation. Help the president. Robert Jan, Wheeling University, West Virginia. Sir Riley, 37 trillion national debt, two trillion annual deficit,

one trillion day of imbalance, is not sustainable. This should be a bipartisan issue, but it's not. I don't understand what the Democrats are trying to accomplish other than opposing Trump. They don't care. Democratic Party the money cuts anywhere. look what I have in a Musk. They don't care, Professor, that we're crazy in debt.

Michael Dwell, Winston-Sell, North Carolina. Mr. I've been watching you for 30 years. Please give me your best advice to dealing with parents who are far, far left. They don't care about law and order anything Republicans are enforcing. Just be respectful to your parents. You don't need to convince them of anything.

thing? I keep telling people, look, people believe what they want to believe. You objecting to the belief, where does that get you? You know, there's a Fourth Commandment for a reason. Honor your father and your mother, even if they're loons, unless they're abusing you or something. But if they just hold political beliefs, they, for some reason, you know, it might be an interesting question. So why do you believe that courts and prosecutors should be soft on criminals. Why? And maybe they have an explanation, but I wouldn't make it a big deal. I would. In a moment, something you might not know. Power, politics, and the people behind the headlines.

You don't want to miss an episode. Now the O'Reilly Update brings you something you

might not know. Seventy-nine years ago this week, a tribunal in Tokyo, Japan, began proceedings against Japanese leaders for crimes against humanity during World War II. The hearings and subsequent convictions ended, one of the most brutal regimes in human history. Here is the story. The Empire of Japan began its bloody conquest of the Pacific in the 1930s. By the summer of 1945, millions of innocent civilians have been killed throughout East Asia and China. On August 6th, President Harry Truman ordered the first atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima, and that led to the war's end. Nine days later, Emperor Hirohito announced the surrender of Japan.

Unlike the Nuremberg trials for the Nazis, where four lawyers represented Great Britain, France, USA, and Russia, The Tokyo Tribunal featured only one prosecutor, an American named Joseph Keenan, assistant to the Attorney General. On November 4, 1948, 25 of the 28 Japanese defendants are found guilty. Two others died during the hearings. One was declared legally insane. When we later, the tribunal passed death sentences on seven of the men, including General Hideki Tojo, who served as Japanese premier during the war.

Sixteen were sentenced to life in prison, two, given lesser terms. Incredibly, Emperor Hirohito was never tried for war crimes. U.S. officials saw the, quote, divine ruler as important to having the Japanese come, and they left him alone. It was a political move. Here Hirohito deserved the death penalty. And here's something else you might not know. The Pacific Campaign of World War II, one of the most catastrophic events in history,

in total 20 million civilians, died across 15 different countries. The 2 million were killed in combat, including 115,000 Americans.
